Tab Zero gets people home safe from a night out — free, in one tap, paid for by community sponsors. FOR RIDERS (ALWAYS FREE) No account, no wallet, no typing. Set your home once, then one button gets you home. See your driver's photo, car, and plate; verify them with a pickup code; share a live trip link with someone you trust; and if you doze off waiting, a loud alarm makes sure you don't miss your ride. Your tab at the end: $0.00 — covered by the night's sponsor. FOR DRIVERS (ALWAYS FREE) Vetted rideshare drivers earn guaranteed sponsored fares during bar hours — see the miles and exact pay before accepting. No fare cut, ever. FOR SAFE-RIDE PROGRAMS Bar associations, breweries, and municipalities run their whole program on Tab Zero — dispatch, driver vetting, sponsor rules enforced automatically, event zones for games and weddings, and the reports that keep sponsor money renewing. 7-day free trial. Open your tab before you go out. Close it at zero. Terms of Use (EULA): https://georgialea.com/tabzero/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://georgialea.com/tabzero/privacy.html

About

Rufus Rideshare

Features
Read full description

Rufus is a simple way for students in Milledgeville to split rides to the places everyone already needs to go: the grocery store, the airport, back home for break. Post where you're headed and pick from people already offering rides nearby, or offer a ride yourself and let riders help cover your gas. How it works: - Post a request, or browse who's driving right now - Pick a driver you're comfortable with, or let a driver pick your request - Split the cost directly between you -- Rufus never touches your money - See exactly who's driving, their car, and how to reach them before you get in Rufus is not affiliated with or endorsed by Georgia College & State University. It does not screen, background-check, or insure drivers -- verification is limited to a current campus email address. You are always the one choosing who to ride with, the same as arranging a ride with anyone else you already know.
